Review


Firstly let me thank Audiojukebox for gifting me this copy for an honest review.

So, secondly, I requested this book after reading the bumpf and thinking hmm this looks good !
I didn't know however that it was #3 in a series !!

I'm assuming that all of the characters were already established in the 1st 2 books so it was a little difficult to relate to them at first.

I did however enjoy the book and the story isn't one that carried over from the last book.....phew!

On what seems to be a relatively normal police traffic incident Inola and her partner Cody arrive in their squad car to find themselves in trouble.
A shootout occurs and her partner is shot dead, a woman tells her that someone has taken her son and then promptly walks in front of a car , and the driver of the car??? Well he just happens to be the sick SOB who has kidnapped the kid, oh and also is the woman's ex husband!

After the gun shoot out and dead bodies everywhere Inolas gun is seized and she is told that she must stand down from the force pending an investigation!

While this is going on the ex husband (unbeknown to Inola as he is using a false name) is also involved in the police investigation, and as Inola can not use her badge anymore, she goes it alone to avenge her partners death.

Inolas boyfriend Hawk who is the county sheriff, and it seems everyone else refuses to believe that there is a missing child involved in the case, and it is up to Inola to prove that there is, and to rescue the child.

This was an on the edge of your seat read by the end of the book, how everything blended together was very clever.

This was a good read, however the narrator for me was a little too monotone and I found myself drifting off a little and having to rewind some parts, although her character voices were very good.
